NBA summer league Wagner v Walton & Robinson
As the title says, Mo Wagner played Derrick Walton Jr. and Duncan Robinson in the NBA summer league yesterday as the Heat faced the Lakers. Robinson had a strong outing with 19 points on 7 for 9 shooting and 4 rebounds in just 19 minutes. It's good to see him put together a good showing (+/- 28). Walton had just 4 points to go along with 6 assists to just 1 turnover in 20 minutes of play (+/- 27).
Mo and his Lakers had a rougher time. Mo put up 8 points to his 5 turnovers and fouled out, as the Lakers lost 74-89. He did have a better showing on Monday in which he scored a team leading 23 points and pulled down 7 boards. So far foul trouble has been plaguing him as he picked up 5 in that game as well.
I'm hoping Robinson can continue his strong play to earn some playing time in the league. The rest of the box score can be found here:

Ahh poop. I missed it with this new short message board listing. Mods, please delete.
Big Mo!
It is tough for me to tell how good they were in that format. Duncan made his threes for a good impression. Wagner struggled but that is to be expected at this point. Walton was solid but I am not sure he is good enough. I hope they all grow and get better going forward.
"Duncan Robinson is a guy who has shown a high IQ, but I think playing for [head coach] John Beilein of Michigan has helped him. He's picking up things quickly."
